from Evgenia Arbugaeva and Maxim Arbugaev

"The recent winner of the Best Short Documentary award at the 2022 IDA Documentary Awards, Maxim Arbugaev and Evgenia Arbugaeva’s Haulout is an atmospheric environmental short looking to immerse its audience in the unforgiving landscapes of the Russian Arctic. Following lone scientist Maxim Chakilev as he waits for the arrival of an unknown visitor/visitors on a remote beach, this 25-minute film is an exercise in patience – for the on-screen researcher, the filmmakers and the audience – with some incredible visuals and an important message."
